I'm intersented in this project because I guess I could hadle it and find it very helpful.
Providers that could be added: metrolyrics, lyrics.wikia.com, and other providers from clementine, that we could use (I guess it's not a big deal for any service that have API). Also bandcamp artist pages contain lyrics sometimes.
I think that lyrics guessing should work with the same codebase that used by tag information editing.
For example: lyrics is not found. Are you sure tags information is correct? Press _here_ for tag-guessing.
And I think this also could be improved with some acoustic fingerprints based algorithms. For example, not only current musicbrainz fingerprinter, but also last.fm fingerprinter (if it is possible due to licence reasons) and echonest echoprint (it should be corrected, because Echoprint is powered by The Echo Nest in partnership with Musicbrainz).
Also I guess I would be great to add to amarok some webservices support, such as soundcloud, bandcamp, youtube, etc so user could get info about new releases right in amarok like with rss subscriptions or like in Clementine player. Also I think that full rss information should be avaliable while playing (that contains helpful tracks names sometimes).
I agree that highlighting the line playing from .lrc timestamps is better that scrolling, because you could see the whole text at the same time, but karaoke mode like in the commertial MiniLyrics app is not bad too as option.
